Issue #16249 has been updated by zverok (Victor Shepelev). @nobu > This checks a directory named the current `Dir` object opened, instead of the opened directory itself. I am not sure I understand (probably it is my lack of in-depth filesystem work understanding), for what I can tell, we have a directory object with some path, and check if directory with this path is empty?.. ---------------------------------------- Feature #16249: Dir#empty? and File#empty? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16249#change-82183 * Author: zverok (Victor Shepelev) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- I don't think it is a super-valuable addition (as nobody complained about it, or I can't find similar proposals), but seems logical to me: ```ruby # Existed since 2.4 Dir.empty?('dirname') #=> true/false File.empty?('filename') # => true/false # Proposed and implemented: Dir.open('dirname').empty? File.open('filename').empty? ``` ---Files-------------------------------- file_dir_i_empty.patch (3.27 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe: <mailto:ruby-core-request / ruby-lang.org?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
